Default Rear hub replacement

I replaced the rear hub on my 430 this weekend just like the post. But with my luck the old hub came out in two pieces instead of one! It was quite a job getting the one assembly off. But fyi a crowbar and a flat head screwdriver behind the ebrake pride it right off. Thanks for the step by step info guys!

I've taken it to the point where the dust cover is supposed to come off after soaking with pen oil. I can move the cover at the top but that's it. I made the tool and it grabs it but it won't come loose. I don't know how to attach photos but I have them

You may have to repeat Step 10 (pry from the speed sensor hole) and Step 11 (pry from the lower brake caliper bolt hole) alternately a few times to loosen the dust deflector. The dust deflector is made of steel so it will flex a bit. Be patient... it will come loose eventually.

I've tried both areas to pry on. I've got the able pushed back over an inch and the tool I made grabs the cover but other than the top area it just won't move. I've got a very well equipped garage and all the right tools so I must be missing the right moves, lol. I've got a
tech coming by Tuesday to look at it. Thanx for the encouragement
